Hi there,
i want to ask ..what is the correct way to "retreat" a unit in the game...if an axis,for example,come with a tank unit from behind the ally unit...and drop two or one flag...which way the ally unit retreat...and generally which way the units they have to retreat?they have to retreat the way back of the facing opponent attack?

ps my english is not very good.So sorry if i cant explain exactly what i want to say.

Hi,

Your english is fine.
Yes, you have understood correctly. If there are no other rules in scenario about retreating, it must be done always to either hex behind the unit even if this means coming closer the shooter if that was behind the retreating unit. Remember that the hex must be free and not impossible so one tactic to cause losses is to go behind the enemy unit and occupy both retreat hexes thus making flag results also cause losses.
I have made one variant about retreating always away from shooter and I will release that in the next scenario I publish. Sneak preview can be found from my pages under working projects.

Also, If you have to retreat multiple hexes, you may retreat through towns, forests, wire, and other terrain that normally would stop your movement. You may retreat through mine fields without them exploding. However, if you retreat through a frozen river hex, you have to roll 2 dice against yourself.

And, as Raistlin said, if there's an impassable hex (such as most rivers, or a mountain that you can't climb), you can't retreat onto or through that hex.

One final note: After each attacker rolls its dice, the defender does all the retreats resulting from that roll. You don't accumulate them to do them all together at the end.

"you always retreat towards your side the side where you place your victory medals. unless other retreat rules are in the special rules of the scenario."

...as i can understand ,this way of retreatment can happen when the opponent facing you normally from front of you...but if he comes from behind you...then with a "flag" can push you toward to his forces?
